Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Top six picks in ESPN.com's last NFL mock draft........

6) Jets-- Todd Gurley, RB Georgia-- Has been cleared medically.

5) Redskins-- Shane Ray, LB Missouri-- Skins need an edge pass rusher.

4) Raiders-- Amari Cooper, WR Alabama-- Derek Carr needs some receivers.

3) Jaguars-- Dante Fowler, DE Florida-- Can also play outside linebacker.

2) Titans-- Marcus Mariota, QB Oregon-- Could very easily trade this pick.

1) Buccaneers-- Jameis Winston, QB Florida State-- If you made $1M a year and your job depended on getting this pick right, who would you choose?

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here.......

13) Warriors 123, Pelicans 119 OT-- Golden State was down 20 after the third quarter; Curry was 7-18 on the arc, Thompson 6-12, everyone else 1-11.

12) Bulls 113, Bucks 106 2OT-- In a double OT game, Chicago was +18 if Pau Gasol was on the court, -11 if he wasn't and he was only off for 14:00.

11) Reason #7,142 that NBA playoff series are too long; teams down 3-0 are a combined 0-110 in playoff series. Thats oh and 110.

10) Rajon Rondo will go down as one of the NBA's all-time strangest people; there was a story on the Interweb this year about when he was with Boston, during a film session, he took a water bottle, fired it at the 50-inch flatscreen TV that was playing the video of the game and shattered it. For no reason other than than the coach was critiquing his play. Oy.

9) Over/under on Lebron James' points Thursday was 26.5; he had 31. One of the great joys of being in Las Vegas is all the odd things you can bet on- there is no shortage of prop bets for any big event.

8) More college basketball transfers: Manu Lecomte from Miami to Baylor; Drexel's leading scorer Damion Lee was poached by Louisville.

7) Speaking of Louisville, they're taking a trip to Puerto Rico in August, where they will play six exhibition games. Trips like this are invaluable.

6) Maryland-Georgetown have finally agreed to play a game in November, which will be very big in that area of the world- they've only met three times since 1980, when Georgetown became a national power.

5) Mississippi State is expected to land Malik Newman today, the first prime recruit of the Ben Howland era; Newman's dad played for State. Problem is if he is any good, he's likely a 1-and-done, but he puts the Bulldogs on the map.

4) NFL schedule oddity: this will be the second year in a row no AFC team will play on Thanksgiving Day.

3) Mets are the 28th team since 2000 to win 11 games in a row; only two of previous 27 wound up that season with a losing record: the '04 Rays went 70-91 despite a 12-game win streak. The '13 Blue Jays won 11 games in a row, but wound up 74-88 anyway.

2) Major league teams whose pitchers walk more than they strike out are 4-25 this season, wth two of the four wins coming Wednesday night.

1) Baseball season is 18 days old; Phillies have played 16 games (5-11) but they still haven't led a game (0-13-3) after the fifth inning.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Amazing Mets power to best record
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We’re going streaking!

Heading into Thursday afternoon’s home date with the Atlanta Braves, the New York Mets had the best record in baseball at 12-3 (9-5-1 O/U) thanks to an 11-game winning streak. They had scored 45 runs in their last eight outings (5-2-1 O/U). Lucas Duda batted .339 with seven doubles and nine RBIs in his first 15 games.

Bronx Bombers

Next up for the Mets is a Subway Series against the New York Yankees this weekend. Through 15 contests, the Yankees were 11-4 O/U. That is mainly thanks to resurgences of Mark Teixeira (5 HR) and Alex Rodriguez (.264, 4 HR, 11 RBI). All five teams in the American League East still have a winning O/U record.

The Miller’s tale

The Atlanta Braves are remarkably thin at the back end of their rotation, so trading Jason Heyward for Shelby Miller seemed like a necessary evil. But it has been no evil at all so far. Miller is 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA through three outings with Atlanta. His next start will come on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies, who are dead last in the majors with 40 runs scored as of Thursday afternoon.

Pitching Notes

* With Max Scherzer gone and Justin Verlander ailing, Shane Greene is picking up the slack for the Detroit Tigers. Through three starts, the 26-year-old is 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA and a 0.74 WHIP after 23 innings of work. Greene’s next start will come on Friday against the Cleveland Indians, one of the weakest-hitting teams in the major leagues up to this point.

* The Milwaukee Brewers (2-13, 8-6-1 O/U) have given up a laughable 89 runs through 15 contests. Kyle Lohse is last in the National League in ERA (10.34 going into Thursday’s start) and both Wily Peralta and Matt Garza are well over the 5.00 mark. Garza and Peralta will kick off this weekend’s series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Hitting Notes

* Arizona Diamondbacks’ first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (.296, 5 HR, 16 RBI) went 0-for-3 on Wednesday, but that is an aberration as opposed to the rule. He has still hit safely in seven of his last eight games. Goldschmidt boasts three home runs and nine RBIs in his last seven outings.

* As of Thursday afternoon, three Houston Astros hitters are in the top three (tied) of the American League in strikeouts. Chris Carter (tied for first) has fanned 22 times while Evan Gattis and George Springer (tied for third) have whiffed on 21 occasions. Houston (8-7, 4-10-1 O/U) is 2-5-1 O/U in its last eight games.

Totals Streak

Cleveland Indians (4-10 O/U): The Indians have scored only 44 runs as of Thursday afternoon, fewest in the American League. All three of their games against the Chicago White Sox earlier this week went under the total and the under is now 7-1 in Cleveland’s last eight outings. The team is 1-8 O/U on the road, which is where it will be going for three against the Detroit Tigers starting on Friday.

Weather Forecast:

Rain showers are expected throughout the day in Oakland including through the Athletics-Astros game. Winds are also expected to be blowing to centerfield upwards of 13 miles per hour.

Injury Notes

* Toronto Blue Jays’ outfielder Jose Bautista (.149, 4 HR, 10 RBI) suffered a shoulder strain while trying to throw a runner out at first base on Tuesday. Manager John Gibbons said on Thursday that Bautista could not throw a baseball. The veteran is day-do-day at the moment but a stint on the disabled list appears to be possible if not probable.

* The San Francisco Giants (6-10, 7-9 O/U) have giant problems in the standings (last place in the NL West) and on the injury report. Travis Ishikawa (back) has suffered a setback and there is no timetable for his return. Manager Bruce Bochy announced earlier this week that May 1 is no longer a realistic return date for Hunter Pence (forearm). Matt Cain (forearm) is at least a week away from just throwing a baseball.

Quintana looks to end slump versus Royals

The Chicago White Sox will send Jose Quintana to the mound to face the Kansas City Royals, despite Quintana losing all five starts against the Royals.

Quintana has allowed four runs per game in those five starts, while allowing almost nine hits per game.

So far this season Quintana has a 8.40 ERA with a .389 on-base percentage.

Yankees looking for sixth straight win with Pineda

Michael Pineda is looking like an ace of the future, with the New York Yankees winning the righties past five starts. In those starts, three of which have been this season, Pineda has only allowed 11 runs while striking out 38 in 33 innings of work.

So far this season, Pineda is 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA and a 20/2 K/BB ratio.

The Subway series kicks off Friday as the Yankees host the Mets.

Marlins have been dominated by the Nationals

The Washington Nationals may not be off to the hot start most would have predicted, but a series against the Miami Marlins is sure to help as the Nats have gone 8-1 in the two teams past nine contests.

If you remove the anomaly, a 15-7 win for the Marlins in the second game of a doubleheader last year, the Nationals have outscored the Marlins 28-11.

Washington will send Jordan Zimmerman to the mound and the Marlins will counter with Mat Latos Friday.
